Blueberry Lemon Muffins These blueberry lemon muffins have the most amazing muffin top.  Crispy on top, but the muffin is so light and fluffy.  Yes, these muffins are 16 Weight Watchers points, but 305 calories each.  Worth it in my opinion! Ingredients: Baking really is a science. It’s precise measurements, exact ratios, and trusting the chemistry to do its thing in the oven. You can’t...

Banana Dark Chocolate Chip Muffins These banana chocolate chip muffins are the best muffins I’ve ever made.  I don’t even care they are 17 Weight Watchers points or 370 calories each.  I have Quin from Butter Be Ready for the base of this recipe.  A couple weeks ago I ran across her recipe for Blueberry Streusel Muffins and I made them four times in two...

Three Biscotti from One Dough This recipe starts morphs into three biscotti from one dough.  Instead of making three separate batches, the base dough is mixed once, then divided into thirds and customized with different mix-ins and flavors. This method keeps things efficient, approachable, and perfect for baking a variety without extra work.  Once the dough is divided, each portion is mixed with its own...

Tart Cherry and Pecan Scones I’ve loved scones since I had my first bite many years ago.  Sadly, my late husband only ate ONE BITE of a scone at a business meeting in 1985, declared it was the worst thing he ever put in his mouth and never tasted another one again.  Even when I showed him that mine weren’t dry at all.  (And while...

Pumpkin Muffins with Protein Powder One of the ways I use up protein powder is in recipes.  I recently got the seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte Protein Smoothie and decided to make pumpkin muffins with protein powder.  Each muffin is only 5 Weight Watchers points and 172 calories each.  While typically you can use Bizzy15 to save 15% off your Flavcity order, seasonal varieties (such as...

Banana Zucchini Bread Banana bread and zucchini bread are my two favorites.  So why not combine them into a banana zucchini bread?  Is it the middle of July and I am baking?  Yep!  Zucchini is my favorite vegetable, so I always have it on hand.  Each slice of this bread is 7 Weight Watchers points. If you count calories or macros: 210 calories, 2 fat,...

Cherry Cream Cheese Scones Hannah laughs at me that every time I write a new scone recipe, I declare it my favorite.  But these cherry cream cheese scones are my new favorite!  Yes, these come in at 11 Weight Watchers points, but only 237 calories.  It’s worth it to me to enjoy this scone once in a while. Light, fluffy, the perfect amount of sweetness...

Simple Chicken and Waffles This simple chicken and waffles recipe is so quick and easy.  You don’t need any skills in the kitchen to make this.  This recipe is 16 Weight Watchers points, but 453 calories for the plate. I’d never spend 16 points on breakfast! Spending 16 points on chicken and waffles might raise some eyebrows, especially when I only get 23 points a...
